  1. ARDENTFebruary 2012 – January 2016 Advanced Radiation Dosimetry European Network Training initiative Marie Curie Initial Training Network under EU FP7 – 4 M€ 7 (8) Full Partners and 5 Associate Partners Coordinator: CERN, Scientist-in-Charge: Dr. M. Silari CERN (coordinator), Switzerland AIT Vienna, Austria / Siebersdorf Laboratories CTU- IAEP Prague, Czech Republic IBA Dosimetry, Schwarzenbruck, Germany Jablotron, Prague, Czech Republic MI.AM, Milano, Italy Politecnico, of Milano, Italy ST Microelectronics, Italy University of Erlangen, Germany University of Houston, USA University of Ontario, Canada University of Wollongong, Australia M. Silari - The ARDENT ITN project

  2. Development of advanced instrumentation for radiation monitoring Three main technologies • gas detectors [e.g., gas electron multipliers (GEM), tissue equivalent proportional counters (TEPC)] • solid state detectors [e.g., Medipix, silicon micro-dosimeters] • track detector techniques [e.g., CR-39, nano-dosimeters] We can still add detectors / technologies we think are worth investigating! M. Silari - The ARDENT ITN project

  3. Objectives & Applications • Main objectives • Radiation dosimetry • Micro- and nano-dosimetry • Photon and neutron spectrometry • Applications • Characterization of radiation fields at particle accelerators (research, industry, medical) • Characterization of radiation fields on-board aircrafts and in space • Assessment of secondary dose to RT patient • Measurement of properties of clinical hadron beams M. Silari - The ARDENT ITN project

  4. Researcher Recruitment • 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESR), 9 already recruited • 4 at CERN: Eleni Aza (Gr), Erik Frojd (Sw), Stuart George (UK), Silvia Puddu (I) • 2 ait AIT / SL, Vienna • 3 at CTU, Prague: Benedikt Bergmann (DE) • 2 at IBA Dosimetry, Schwarzenbruck • 1 at Jablotron, Prague: VijayaragavanViswanathan (India) • 1 at MI.AM, Milano: Alvin SashalaNaik (Mauritius) • 2 at the Politecnico, Milano: Chris Cassell (AU), Eleni Sagia (Gr) • Up to 1/3 of time can be spent on secondments • Work performed within the project to be used for PhD • Generous training allowance for researchers M. Silari - The ARDENT ITN project

  5. Work Packages • Seven Work Packages • WP1: gas detectors (Sofia Rollet, AIT, Vienna) • WP2: solid state detectors (Zdenek Vykydal, CTU, Prague) • WP3: track detectors (Marco Caresana, Politecnico, Milano) • WP4: instrument inter-comparison (Matteo Magistris, CERN) • WP5: training • Individual training programs • Network-wide training • WP6: dissemination and outreach • WP7: ITN management M. Silari - The ARDENT ITN project

Silari - The ARDENT ITN project

  7. Annual workshops Training Course at the 1st Workshop in Vienna is DOSIMETRY Training Course at the 2nd Workshop in Milano probably MICRODOSIMETRY M. Silari - The ARDENT ITN project

  8. Potential synergies • EURADOS Working Groups • 6 computational dosimetry • 9 medical • 11 high-energy radiation fields • CERN-HERMES network between Greek universities and institutions and CERN groups involved in radiation physics/dosimetry/detectors/medical applications • CNAO ?
